There's another Jim Barnes out there, and he's been a very busy man. For all you music trivia buffs, industry gurus and music lovers, Jim has written a book -called The Book which researches the Top 40 Charts in Australia from the Years 1956 to 2005. The book was co-authored by Steve Scanes, who convinced Jim to computerise his book, rather than using hand written manuscripts -makes sense to me!!
The book is in it's seventh edition and can be cross referenced by Chronological Chart Entry in Alpha sort by Artist or by name of Song.
This seventh edition boasts much more biographical information than ever before with almost all artists having information listed about them - real names, band personnel, famous relationships.
Like the editions before the 7th, once again all information from previous editions is incorporated with the last three years of charts, meaning that every vital piece of chart information is at your fingertips in ONE volume only, not fractured across several books, making the 7th Edition once again great value for money.
The book is $79, which includes postage and handling anywhere in the Land of OZ.
What a cool pressie for anyone interested in Australian Music.
